I’m Devin Shayla Morales, a local 798 makeup artist with a skill set that ranges from clean, natural beauty to character-driven special effects. I love building stories through faces and helping bring worlds to life on screen.
I started my career in New York and Orlando and now call the Atlanta area home, but my work still takes me wherever production needs me. Over the years, I’ve been part of notable projects like Stranger Things, The Walking Dead, Halloween Kills, and Hillbilly Elegy. Along the way, my work has been recognized with Emmy and Makeup Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Award nominations, which I’m incredibly grateful for.
Whether I’m creating subtle, camera-ready realism or more complex character work, I’m known for my calm presence on set, attention to detail, and genuine love for collaboration. My goal is always the same: support the story, support the team, and make sure the person in the chair feels confident and cared for.
